For some reason this never got posted here.
Back in February Comm2A and the Center for Individual Right filed a challenge to the Massachusetts ban on possession of electronic weapons. A motion for PI was filed in late March and yesterday the Massachusetts Attorney General filed her Opposition.
Unlike New Jersey, it does not appear that Massachusetts is willing to gentle into that good night.
Find all here: Martel v. Healey.

The plaintiffs cannot plausibly argue that electrical weapons are “lineal descendants” of weapons in common use when the Second Amendment was
ratified. And the weapons available to colonial militiamen did not have features that were precursors of those in present-day electrical weapons, which are wholly different. For example, electrical weapons do not discharge rounds, do not need to be reloaded, injure without leaving a physical trace on their victims, and, most conspicuously, deploy electricity to incapacitate their target. As a result, electrical weapons remain outside the Second Amendment’s reach.
